[aspirings]

B-but...!

[Kobato clearly has no sense of self-preservation.]

[noblesque]

No buts about it...!

[YEAH HE'S WALKING TO THE INFIRMARY since they're still linked by the arms and everything

Sorry for the killjoy worrywart.]

[aspirings]

[Okay off to the infirmary with them then.

And really, Kobato does not know how to be fierce so--]

Thank you...for taking care of me.

[noblesque]

Please don't argue any further, I-

[oh wait

She's.... not. Uh.

. . . What manner of lost kitten did he find-]

... thank you for understanding that's what I'm trying to do....?

[gratitude all around apparently]

[aspirings]

[... Yeah.

Um.

Awkward.]

Oh... is that an unusual thing...?

[noblesque]

Well - yes, to be honest....

[His senpai normally call him too self-righteous or arrogant when he makes decisions so....]

I'm sorry - I spoke to you rather roughly didn't I? That was uncalled for regardless.

[what's your definition of rough.]

[aspirings]

[...??????]

Eh...? You did?

[Please don't say these things to someone so impressionable.]

Then... it's okay! I don't mind when people speak roughly!

[She means that he's...been nice to her??? But now here they are.]

[noblesque]

H-Huh?

[oh my god why is this happening.]

No, that's unacceptable...! You shouldn't be treated roughly, please don't be so accepting of it? Don't you worry for yourself at all...?!

[aspirings]

[She's even more confused now.]

Eh...? But you said you spoke to me roughly, but... you've been really helpful and have been so kind, so it can't be that bad...!

[noblesque]

No, that's not -

Well you know, I am still a gentleman? Or at least I try... but there may be people who are rough with no redeeming features-

Not that I would ever want you to encounter those people but... If you did...!

Please do not accept the treatment as face value....

[ . . . Ok but all the fussing aside-]

I didn't think I would have to explain this....

[aspirings]

[...Thanks, friend.

Kobato still looks more puzzled than anything, but she just smiles in the end, nodding easily enough.]

Mm, okay!

[It's fine, she'll ask her stuffed dog to explain it later.]

I am very glad to meet you... I've never met a gentleman before.

[noblesque]

[that moment when tsukasa suou is more useless than a stuffed dog

The usual day.]

Ah - the pleasure is all mine.

[he at least unfusses enough to offer a small smile.]

I hope the impression I've made is good so far if I'm the first gentleman that you've met so far? I'm not sure how that's possible either but...

Well, kind young ladies like yourself deserve to be treated like princesses, I think.

[aspirings]

[It's because she's got the memories of like two weeks and that's all.]

Princesses...?

[GASP]

Oh no, I'm not a princess at all!

[noblesque]

[ . . . That's pretty cute.

Okay sorry he might be obscuring more laughter with his free hand.]

Are you sure?

You're sweet and generous like one, if nothing else. Though grace might be a work in progress.

[aspirings]

Oh...

[He's so nice??

She hesitates a moment, flummoxed by it, before a bright smile spreads across her face.]

Well... If I can be princess-like, then I'm very happy! [In general, that sounds pretty nice]

Thank you very much!

[The grace thing can never be fixed though.]

[noblesque]

You're welcome -

[but apparently during their chatter they made it to the infirmary! To which he retracts his offered arm and instead gestures for her to go inside.]

Now come, princess, let's make sure you don't have a concussion before we carry forth your good deed.

[aspirings]

Oh...okay.

[She certainly won't argue as they walk on into the infirmary and she gets checked out.

The final diagnosis:

A hell of a bump, but no concussion.

Phew.]

... Now I can go get that balloon! [#priorities]

[noblesque]

It's remarkable what you choose to fixate on. It must be nice to be so simple...?

[he actually means that as a genuine compliment.

sorry.

but regardless he's nodding his head and opting to head back in the direction they came from - ]

Let's retrieve a ladder then?

[aspirings]

[Don't be a dick.

Thankfully she doesn't take any offense to it, instead just tilting her head.]

Oh... a ladder!

[GENIUS.]

Yes, let's do that!

[noblesque]

[He doesn't even realize.

Already she is too kind.]

Mm, there should be a storage closet on the way back, perhaps. [they have to put up their idol stages somehow??] Hopefully it'll be tall enough to get back into the tree....

[aspirings]

Let's do it! [She claps her hands together, delighted.] Kobato will do her best!

[ONWARDS, FRIENDS.

At least she has enthusiasm to spare.]]

[noblesque]

[She sure does but at least it manages to get Tsukasa to smile back, nodding.]

Then this Suou Tsukasa will do his best as well!

[yaaaaaaay

they do make it back to the storage closet and he'll go inside to fetch it and.... struggle and fumble a little bit with bringing it out, oh that's a tall ladder]

F-Found it...!

[a-ahahaha

c'mon you prideful little prince admit you need help]

[aspirings]

[Ahahaha...ha...

At least she'll...poke her head in.]

Um...do you need any help?

[SHE'LL TRY REALLY HARD]

[noblesque]

[Yes.]

No, I should be fine—ah!

[that was nearly a tumble but his reflexes have so far managed to keep him Alive. nice.]

Ah yes, everything is... perfect!

[please.]

[aspirings]

[.... Uh.

Ummm...]

H-hold on, I'll help...!

[She moves to run in to help him and

trips and falls into him

GOOD WORK TEAM]
